| Summary: | Sleep, which is among the basic human needs necessary for a healthy life, is an indispensable need that affects the quality of life. Individuals face sleep problems when sleep duration, quality and regularity are disrupted. In individuals undergoing breast cancer surgery, sleep patterns are disrupted and sleep quality decreases after surgical intervention. In this direction, nurses have great responsibilities in the management of sleep quality and in ensuring the quality sleep process. Evidence-based practices in the care of patients undergoing breast cancer surgery positively affect sleep quality. As a result of the literature review, it is seen that the number of studies examining the factors affecting the sleep quality of patients undergoing breast cancer surgery and evaluating nursing care is insufficient. The aim of this review is to examine the factors affecting the sleep quality of patients after breast cancer surgery in line with the literature and to include nursing interventions applied in this direction.
